Brad Input

I agree with proposed solution #1, my vote re: what to do would be

• "contact the uploader, ask them to confirm it's not copyrighted or state how they have permission to upload
• and if X days pass without one of those two responses, unlink the image"
• I think this applies to all those scenarios (wallpaper, thumbnail in text etc).
• Basically if the answer to the initial question is "no", contact the person who did it, give them X days to fix it and after X days, fix/delete/unlink it yourself.
• I'd rather not ask reviewers to hunting the internet for images to try and find for sure if one is non-copyrighted, that's a lot of work.
• How many days? Maybe a week? maybe the person is traveling or on vacation? I'd be OK with a week, not less than 2 days though I'd say.
• What if the person who linked the image to the profile is not the uploader? I'd still say the "uploader" because that's the root problem.
• I think we DO need image guidance and I think we DO need text guidance too i.e. "a few sentences with attribution is OK but for more than that you need to paraphrase or summarize. You may not copy/paste more than a few sentences." or something like that. People "should" already know this but obviously some don't and again this shows due diligence on our part. "Infringing copyright" is pretty well defined for written and published text, much less so for images so I've come around to the view that I'd rather not use that phrase and ask people to make that legal judgement call for themselves. If "a few sentences" is too vague, let's say "four" or something.

Images Now

IMAGES:

• Are all images relevant to the profile?
• Are they in the public domain?
• Make sure there is a source attached, or statement of why it can be used.
• If a wallpaper is used, is it subtle? Does it distract from the text?
• If the images are within the biography section, are they a reasonable size and do they appear properly placed (e.g., left or right justified, or centered)

Images

• Remove any images not in the in the public domain or permitted by copyright terms.
• Request Profile Manager to correct images are not relevant, properly formatted, and sourced.
• Request Profile Manager to correct wallpaper that is not subtle or distracts from the text.
